The star, who plays David Platt on the show, can be seen enjoying a spot of breakfast, after undergoing 13 hours of sitting on public transport to get to London.

The star shared the post with his 389,000 followers which showed him looking relieved to be in the capital.

Colson captioned the photo: “After 13 hours of public transport, he’s made it to London.”

It comes after the heatwave caused travel disruption through the country.
